Whatever your feelings on the war may be, I think we can all agree on one thing -- whatever the truth may be between the US propoganda and the Iraqi propoganda, the Iraqi Information Minister is just getting bizarre now.
From
this story"The minister also said that coalition forces were throwing booby traps in the form of pens and pencils into Iraqi villages and townships.
'The authority of the civil defense ... issued a warning to the civilian population not to pick up any of those pencils because they are booby traps,' he said, adding that the British and American forces were 'immoral mercenaries' and 'war criminals' for such behavior.
'I am not talking about the American people and the British people," he said. "I am talking about those mercenaries. ... They have started throwing those pencils, but they are not pencils, they are booby traps to kill the children.' "
Yeah... sure... booby-trapped pencils. Mmm-hmm. Someone's been watching
Goldeneye too many times, I think.
